The only Civil War air-raid shelter remaining in Girona opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month. The space, with a capacity for 600 people, screens the audiovisuals Amagats sota terra and La Queta, la Consol i les vivències d'un temps de guerra.

The venue

Refugi antiaeri

Reinforced concrete, perpetual humidity, and ten underground rooms designed in 1938.

Built below ground level to shelter over six hundred people during the Civil War, this cellular air-raid shelter retains its original structure of oval corridors and cement walls. The tour covers the passive defense chambers now managed by the Museu d'Història de Girona.
